Does anyone know how the wheel centers are fixed? Are they simply held in place by the wheel or do they require glueing?

Thanks

The Wellers years ago I had on a Hillman Avenger the wheel centres came in from the back of the wheel, they were like a small whiskey cup with a lip and simply tapped in, what type are yours?

Thanks guys, I had a go fitting them earlier and just pushed them in from behind - but they were pretty loose so I've left them out for now.

Should I gently tap them in with a rubber mallet until I get a snug fit?

Just push/tap them in until they are fitted flush with the back of the wheel centre hole
